a distinctly un shabby trabbi, with correct engine, in Bideford, of all places! and comes with quiet a selection of spare parts.

nice car for someone.

Blimey that's clean!

I wonder has anyone (in the UK) ever taken the driving test in a properly engined trabant?

"remember dont freewheel"

"yeah about that...."

sadly you couldn't use that trabbi for a practical driving test, as that has to be done in a car with headrests fitted.... :-(

dunno where that idiot rule has come from, other than our euro-overlords of course.

Nice try Mrs Farage, but actually they only need a head rest for the passenger (examiner) and it's for his or her safety.

And to be fair, look at it from an employer's point of view. 

The primary concern should be a duty of care to the employee. 

If the only care the employer takes is insisting that the car has a seatbelt and a head rest it's not exactly going above any beyond reasonable steps us it.

If they insisted that tests could only be taken in cars with dual controls, then I think they could actually be forgiven. 

But where's the fun in that.

Be like Kiltox, except this one has an MOT.

If ACA is anything to go by, there's potential for a decent profit here if you can get it running properly again (or just running well enough to drive through the auction tbh...)

Look at this beauty!  It's an Imperial so it'll have the Selectaride adjustable dampers, as well as the Coachwork by Thrupp & Maberley plates which are one of the most English things I've ever seen on a car.  It doesn't even look that rotten.  Seller reckons engine won't turn, but still a potential bargain to be had I reckon.

I'm actually tempted to have a bid, despite having no money, nowhere to put it and nothing powerful enough to tow it home with...

Later Trabants did have headrests and I remember the lovely hardback handbook mentioned that driving without the headrests fitted was not permitted.

A bit too salty but I think I would enjoy blezzing about town in this.

This is great - scruffy like it’s 1986, tan vinyl seats, giffer stick-on rubbing strip.  Rock on.

The 2300 is a lusty old unit; not sure I’d pay extra for an autobox when actually you can just drive a manual everywhere in third.

I do like those estates, a friend had one years ago which always impressed me. I remember it mostly as he had fitted an overdrive to it, but the operating switch was a nice brass and ceramic light switch that dangled on a lead, usually somewhere in the footwell. The Vauxhall lasted better than his Sunbeam Alpine (written off hitting his own gate pillar) and his Mini van (destroyed by getting it stuck in a pedestrian bridge over a railway)

That ZX is more or less the perfect spec but the TDs have become quite pricey in the last year or so. An early pre cat one is actually quite quick, in an 80s diesel kind of way.

A rusty, agricultural old implement that's been left in a field for years, and a farm trailer.
